Actually, there's nothing all that funny about yours MM. The police didn't even apologize, they said it was regrettable. Not the same thing. It's regrettable that it rained today, but I'm not admitting fault that for the intemperate weather with that statement.
What's more, God forbid the poor guy tried to resist or defend himself. The police could have shot him.

Photos show mystery skeleton sticking out of iceberg off N.L. east coast
http://www.canada.com/topics/news/na...2c&k=78707&p=1
Tara Brautigam, Canadian Press
Published: Tuesday, June 05, 2007
ST. JOHN'S, N.L. (CP) - Marine scientists in Canada and abroad are puzzled by bizarre photographs that appear to show the skeleton of a large mammal jutting out of an iceberg that recently drifted past Newfoundland's east coast.
The six pictures show what looks like a brown rib cage and spinal column, slightly bent, sticking out of a crust of ice.
But researchers throughout Canada, Greenland and Norway are unable to determine the origin of the skeleton, said Garry Stenson, a marine mammal scientist with the federal Fisheries Department.
"It's definitely unusual," Stenson said Monday. "It's not something that I've encountered before."
His colleagues have been debating whether the carcass belongs to a bearded seal, a walrus or a beluga whale. But without the actual specimen in his hands, Stenson said he can't resolve the mystery.
"It would be really nice to get a copy, a sample, a hold of it, but at this point we're not quite sure what it is," he said.
The photos were taken near Newtown, in Bonavista Bay, by Eli and Donna Norris on the weekend of May 26, said Ruth Knee, a friend who forwarded them to the Fisheries Department in hopes of identifying the bones.
The Norris family couldn't be reached for comment Monday.
Knee said the retired couple didn't want to be interviewed, but said she could vouch for the authenticity of the photos.
"Not everybody wants their 15 minutes of fame," Knee said.
Stenson said he is fairly certain the pictures aren't a hoax.
"If it was Photoshopped, it's a damn good job," he said. "The way that it's laying there, with what looks to be part of it underwater, looks authentic."
Stenson said he was told the backbone was roughly 2.4 metres out of the ice, leading him to believe the spine belonged to a large mammalian creature.
But he is uncertain whether the animal would have fallen into a crevasse in an iceberg and then got stuck, or if it simply died on an ice floe and later became embedded by other pans of ice.
"It could be a walrus, for example, that died and is laying on its back and the pressure of the snow and the ice has flattened those ribs," he said.
The bones don't appear very weathered, and it looks like there may be tissue still attached to them. Stenson wouldn't speculate on how old they are because the ice may have preserved them for years.
The iceberg's location, or if it was still intact, weren't known Monday.
"Sometimes a lot of my mysteries never get solved," Stenson said with a sigh.
The province's coastline has been the setting of a number of strange discoveries in the past.
In July 2001, residents of St. Bernard's, in Fortune Bay, were awed by a seven-metre carcass that washed ashore. Because of its decomposed state, researchers were initially unable to determine what it was, prompting locals to nickname it "the sea monster."

Sounds like the scientist have a bone to pick.

Pentagon confirms it planned to build "gay bomb."
The documents show the Air Force lab asked for $7.5 million to develop such a chemical weapon.
"The Ohio Air Force lab proposed that a bomb be developed that contained a chemical that would cause enemy soliders to become gay, and to have their units break down because all their soldiers became irresistably attractive to one another," Hammond said after reviwing the documents.
"The notion was that a chemical that would probably be pleasant in the human body in low quantities could be identified, and by virtue of either breathing or having their skin exposed to this chemical, the notion was that soliders would become gay," explained Hammond.

The first gay bomb was dropped in WW2 by the Enola Gay, wasn't it?
Now suppose a militant group of gays got hold of the gay bomb and dropped it on Washington DC and the state capitals? All legislation would go straight to gay biased. One has to wonder, with the threat of gay terrorism, would the population and our government be tough enough to take it like a man?

Its official: Modern art is NOT merde
http://entertainment.timesonline.co....cle1917969.ece
When the Italian artist Piero Manzoni put his excrement into tin cans in the early 1960s and offered it as art, he said that he was exposing “the gullibility of the art-buying public”.
Collectors and galleries that paid high prices for the tins — including the Tate — appeared even more gullible yesterday when it emerged that they contained not faeces, but plaster
Agostino Bonalumi, who worked closely with Manzoni, recalled yesterday that he, Manzoni and a third young artist, Enrico Castellani, had rebelled against traditional art forms but had found no takers in Milan for their ideas.
“Piero said, ‘All these Milanese bourgeois bastards want is c***,’ ”

As to the story, if toilet paper was not meant to be ripped off, then why is it perforated? Aside from that, isn't toilet paper made for Butts? She had every right to take it. If Marshall County was really concerned about the missing toilet paper, they would have taken roll call every day (bidet?).
Pull the chain, I'm done.
